    Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma summons SEBA secretary over alleged exam paper leaks

    In addition, action will be taken against the centre from which the question paper was obtained.

    Digital Desk: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on
    March 6 summoned the SEBA secretary Naranyaran Nath over alleged exam paper
    leaks said sources.



    According to sources, the secretary of the Assam Board of
    Secondary Education (SEBA) has given the board three days to react.



    In addition, action will be taken against the centre from which
    the question paper was obtained.



    As per sources, the High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC)
    Mathematics test papers were leaked in Assam's Cachar district on March 6.



    The paper went viral on the second day of the HSLC exam, shortly
    after 15 minutes of the Mathematics exam began.



    A few images of the question paper went viral on social media
    sites, and the material is alleged to have been leaked from an examination
    centre in Lakhipur.



    The Cachar Education Department, on the other hand, has yet to
    comment on the paper leak issue.



    It's worth noting that on the first day of the exam, there were
    rumours that the English question paper had been leaked from the Barpeta
    region.



    In a statement, SEBA secretary and exam controller Nath rejected
    the charges, calling media reporting on the subject inaccurate and unjustified.



    As many as 4,23,000 students from around the state are taking the
    HSLC exam this year, and the exams are being held in accordance with the
    National Education Policy requirements (NEP).



    As a result, SEBA has made adjustments to four important courses
    for the HSLC exams.



    According to rumours, SEBA has made various adjustments to the
    HSLC exam disciplines like as Mathematics, General Science, English, and Social
    Science.



    According to the revised NEP standards, these four sections in the
    HSLC exam will now have two answer sheets. The first answer sheet will be eight
    pages long and will contain objective-type questions, while the second answer
    sheet will be 16 pages long and will contain descriptive-type questions.



    The HSLC tests will be held in 912 exam centres this year,
    beginning on March 3 and concluding on March 20.
